This is the top of the VIPER telescope over at MAPO in the Dark Sector. I came over to visit my friends Al (MAPO tech) and Justus (the VIPER tech) and look at some camera lenses for next winter and get a quick tour over their facilities. Can you believe I waited this long to get the tour? Well, I had to do it before first plane, so before long, I'll put up some pictures of some of the Dark Sector projects that I went over to see. So VIPER, like most other astrophysical things is probably best explained by those who run them, so to get a full run-down on this telescope, I'd like to direct you to their website here: http://astrophysics.phys.cmu.edu/research/viper/
